Meet the Founder

Alankara Shukurat Opeyemi

Long before Explore Ibadan had a name, it started with a simple passion: bringing people together to experience the city in a different way.

Since 2022, I have organized outings, experiences, and events that helped people discover new places, build connections, and create lasting memories. Through those experiences, I noticed something important—many people lived in or visited Ibadan without truly knowing all the city had to offer.

That realization inspired Explore Ibadan.

Today, Explore Ibadan is more than a tourism platform. It is a growing community designed to connect people with the best of the city—from events and experiences to businesses, opportunities, and local communities.

Our mission is simple: to help more people discover, experience, and connect with Ibadan.

Because Ibadan is more than a city. It is a culture, a community, and a story worth exploring.
